Description
This world consists of two dimensions joined as one, like a mirror. The first is the world in which the humans live, Assiah. The other is the world of demons, Gehenna. Ordinarily, travel between the two, and indeed any kind of contact between the two, is impossible.
However the demons can pass over into this world by possessing anything that exist within it.
Satan is the god of demons; but there's one thing that he doesn't have, and that's a substance in the human world that is powerful enough to contain him!!
For that purpose he created Rin, his son from a human woman, but will his son agree to his plans? Or will he become something else...? An exorcist?

| Potential by Arianne7 on April 4th, 2010, 9:24pm |

I've loved this story since it came out: it has so much potential. This could easily develop into a top shonen series, depending on the direction it takes.
The premise isn't anything you haven't seen before. Seemingly normal boy inherits massive power. But the quirks, twists and characters give it a fresh, exciting feel. It doesn't feel like the worn down, run of the mill shounen.
I love the main character, Rin. He's the right combination of cool guy, idiot and silliness.
And did I mention the art? Its gooooorgeous. Katou might be one of my favorite mangaka. Its clean, stylized, smooth, and articulate - detailed and beautiful without being ridiculously ornate and gaudy. Its my favorite kind of art style. The colored chapter covers are some of my favorite ever.
Even if the plot wasn't great, I'd still read it for the art (but fortunately its very entertaining!)

okay, I just have to say this: where do people get D.Gray-Man out of this...it's not even close. It's like saying Death Note and Bleach or something...wth.
Anyway, I love this manga. It's a nice change on a typical shounen manga. In fact, it doesn't really feel like most shounen manga. Of course it has main character with special powers and that whole bit, but I just like this one a lot for some reason. The art is cool, main character's motives aren't cliched; justice this, i want to be-number-one-that (he want to kill his father. nice) I like the classmates and all the scheming half-brothers. Like mentioned below, I like the relationship between the MC and his twin brother. It's great.
A bit of angst, but not too much. Nice amount of comedy. A nice wholesome shounen.

This is awesome. Well compared to D Grayman most stories are. But I like the connection between the brothers. The art style is a bit different and the demons look well-done. I'm looking forward to more chapters.

Spoiler (highlight to view) I'm really liking this series. I stumbled across it by accident and think it' got a unique touch that can really work in later chapters. The only problem I see with it is that the brother really ticks me off. I can see not telling Rin that he is a demon, but not telling him about the rest is just not cool. Also there is the part with the gun when Rin starts school and that is something family shouldn't do, especially after spending so many years together. I can see it starting to change so I have my fingers crossed |

As a few others have said, the overall story is pretty unique. The basic summary might seem a little cliched or familiar, but its the details that make it stand out.
I love the characters. At first I thought Rin was just going to be a protagonist like all the others; hot headed, kind of stupid, always getting into trouble and using violence, and having a strong "hero complex" and wanting to get stronger to protect everyone, blah blah. But he isn't. Yes, he can be stupid and he isn't all that brilliant at studying, but he still has common sense and isn't goaded into reckless action every time someone slings an insult at him. He shows glimpses of maturity.
Other characters like his brother and friends are also fleshed out so that they are three dimensional.
I also really like the art, and of course the plot is intriguing, too. I've just read chapter 7, and I'm glad we're starting to get hints of what the bad guys are doing.
Overall, one of my favorites. |

The story sounds a bit cliche when you read the summery. A half super awesome demon/monster boy fights with the other monsters has been done loads in Shounen manga. Don't let that put you off. Something I have heard from Pixar story writers is this. "most of the stories you come across are going to be pretty much the same, they have really all been done before. Our stories aren't more original than the next story. It's how you tell the story that makes it fun to watch."
In other words, having an original story means nothing, original stories can be just as bad as cliche ones, what is really important is how the story is told.
Characters 9.3/10 The designs are original, and you never get the feeling that you are mixed up with two smiler characters when reading. The personalities are interesting and compelling. You never feel like you want to skip reading a few pages because boring characters are just talking about the plot. There are some overused stereotypes, such as the tough smart girl with long hair, but they later get fleshed out so that they still seem original.
Story 9.2/10 While not a unique story, I still stand by my view that a story doesn't need to be unique or new to be good. It just needs to be told in such a way that is fresh fun and interesting. Kazue Kato is really good at this. Even though I've read tons of shounen material with a smiler concept, this still feels fun and original. The major plot hasn't surfaced yet, so I'm excited to see where the story will go from where it stands.
Art 9.7/10 Just beautiful drawings. Detail is added where needed, and taken away when it becomes unnecessary and clogs the frames. Backgrounds match style and don't change from cartoony to realistic (when the BK art is obviously a copied over photo reference) Characters look different not only in cloths and hair, but also in body type and face shape which is nice. Anime style often creates what looks like a bunch of different dressed up manikins with different hair and cloths which is something I hate. Also I will add that Kato should be a master at story telling by panel. It's one thing to have a good story, it's another thing to be able to have it make sense and flow correctly through the frames. I often feel that some of the weekly manga suffer in the panel art area because they are rushed to get a chapter out per week. It is possible to change the readers perception of time and speed of reading through the frames,but that takes planning and revising. When you are rushed a lot of that is lost. This is a monthly manga, so it has much better reading flow.

| worth a read~! by sweetnsour321 on October 14th, 2009, 2:35pm |

It's confusing in the first few pages but then it get's pretty good, the arts nice and the plot outline is pretty different than most shounen mangas (maybe similar<not really>). I really don't see why people say it's similar to D.gray man theres nothing alike except theres 'excorist' but theres a lot of mangas like that..so basically it's worth a read

i love the art and the humor. and the story is wonderful too. and no it is not a ripoff just because there are exorcists... the whole idea is completely different from dgm... i really like how the author doesnt reuse panels for flashbacks, he redraws them completely, often from a different angle. Ive read the first 6 chapters atleast 4 times each I think.btw, i liked shura better when she was a guy T_T

Yay thank you Carne! Exorcists are an occupation used in movies books and manga, not exclusively DGM. Therefore this is not a ripoff, not every manga with ninjas is a ripoff of naruto.
Yes it has typical shonen cliches ie. i'm half demon or have insert forbidden or awesomely powerful skill here. I love the art, and the humor and all of the little things the author puts into the story. I for one immensely enjoy it.
